These are great sir !!
Thanks a lot for sharing
so like, is the dude in the first panel totally pukin? everythings awesome, I hope the future looks like that, minus all the smoke. nice portraits!
oils on point!! that first one is going to have me throwing all kinds of juicy strokes on my next figure painting
Those oils are sick:yum: , inspiring work as usual, thanks for taking the time to crit in my sb, very much appreciated. Whats even more appreciated is the time and energy you and the guys at mb are putting into the dvds and the downloadable vids. I know I have a ways to go as an artist, but if it wasn't for mb, I wouldn't be where I am today. Can't wait for the workshop, its going to be one for the history books my friend, back to the drawing board.
Thanks for everything bro,:yayca:
yesssss! oiiilllssss!!! sweet dude - thanks for these - very helpful for my current practise.
PS you made yourself more hunsum. Cheating!!
diggin the textures and lighting in those enviro speedies
Enviroments are really cool. And juicy strokes in the oil portraits!
cool, you have a sketchbook! I haven't seen this before. Really nice paintings, both traditional and digital. I really like traditional painting, its very nice to see amongst all the photoshopping. Its hard to crit you since you most probably are ahead of me on every point haha:D One thing that i always admire is when someone uses few strokes that tell just as much as if it was super rendered. In my opinion that takes more skill and knowledge, and i'd say you do it very well!
sorry for all the asspatting.:)
realmente muy bueno
haha,yeah i know. do you have it at work? y'know i'd like it for myself :PQuote:

If I ever make it to an industrial death world with huge vats of molten something or other, I'll be thinking of the Bahamas too. Top notch work, like the greens in the girl with the blue lighting, enviros from you are always awesome.

Your really modest as always:)
The massive black for me is a goal, I hope one day can join the Shanghai studio, I know that I need this precious chance!I need chance
dude coro your art is friggin amazing :D I love your environments and vehicle designs a lot
also I saw your sketchbook in IFX, was a good read :] very insperational stuff man, I'm a big fan :]
You be drawing all good and shit.
I'm happy that you decided to start this book seeing this stuff has been a real inspiration. I'm also glad to see you posting in other's books more.
See ya in Seattle!!!!
That last batch of oils is nuts. I love the bold and fluid brushwork you've got, and those colors are equally dope. Those digitals are rad too. I always wondered if there was somebody thinking about palm trees and beaches in a super teched out future. Digging the variety of textures, especially that chalk/pastel look in some spots. Dope as always.
Just wanted to say thank you for your contribution to this site and for sharing your work and techniques with us. You have been a great inspiration and I look forward to future updates.... subscribed. :asspat:
amazing! your work is beautiful!
System OverLOOAAD! Heh, here I am watching a vid of Jon Foster speaking at AAU, looking at Richard Schmid's work (via another window) and now your latest oils.
I.Can't.Take.iT. Anymore. Heh..well actually I can - keep bringing it! As usual, beautiful work. But I'm thinking I really, really love your oil paintings the most!
Holy hell you started an sb??! I remember finding out who you were last year at San Fran, spending like 2 hours with one of your sketchbooks in my hands and nearly peeing myself like the entire time. Can't say just how excited I am that you're posing here now. :xpld: Thanks so much for sharing all your stuff... and I guess I'll see ya in Seattle in a couple days? :tihi:
edit: a quick question I didn't get the chance to ask at the workshop... I noticed you used ink or a fat splat of color of some kind in a lot of your sketchbook pages... but it's vibrant like marker ink. I know it could be a variety of different mediums, but I'm curious what you use. Could you share your secret? :wink:
oh shit you guys found me! i need to update this today. and respond to all your kind comments! hope everyone had a happy holidays!-c36
happy new year dood!
this is like striking oilz in the sketchbook section... great news that you started up a new SB. here i was having no idea. Anywhizzle be sure to make some humorous perverted artwork in seattle.
edit: Questions!
Do you still do the full-color sketchbooks? if not, has the energy you put into those now going towards the alla-prima oils? There was a page i saw... like in 2004 at the san fran workshop... i believe the composition was 4 apostles on one page: what did you use for the gold leaf effect in the background?
big props to yourself and the other mb crew for putting together these downloads... they be the cat's tits.
Impresses! Saw monsters on your site, really terrible creatures, rather original mood, excellent anatomy. Spread characters here
Sup Coro.
It was kick ass to be able to see you work in Seattle! PLEASE bug Nox to post his PS brushes!
I didn't really get a chance to watch you complete your speed enviros because I was constantly running around and to say the least enviros are NOT my favorite thing to paint. I'm always amazed by the amount of detail and especially atmosphere you can achieve in peoples environments and I can never do anything like it. So do you mind sharing your technique?
Dude, your creature demo was hysterical! I think you and Dan Milligan should do stand up comedy together! ;)
I thought this was an interesting coincidence so I'd post it.
So a few weeks ago I posted my first ever life drawing that I did. It was this:
Today I was looking through your gallery and I found this oil painting that you did of the same model. It's pretty friggin awesome... especially after seeing other oil paintings that have been done of the model.
Anyway... enough spamming your SB. Take care man!

Group sketches preliminary plan for arts council
By Max Hrenda
If a painter makes a critical error, he or she may simply throw their canvas away and start from scratch.
It appears, as Oscar Wilde once said, that "life imitates art."
On Monday night, local artists, lovers of the arts, and members of local government met in the Carter County Courthouse to lay the foundation for a local arts council.
Though similar attempts have previously been made, organizer Scott Snell expressed optimism that this group may finally become a permanent fixture in the community.
"I want to thank you all for coming out," Snell said. "We began a few months ago. Then we got snowed out last time. This time, I hope we will be able to figure out how to take this to the next level."
The first issue in taking it "to the next level" dealt with the term "arts" itself.
David Kramer, president of the Watauga Valley Art League, suggested expanding the term so no artists would feel excluded from the council.
"One of the things that I find confusing for people, when you talk about artists, is they think only in visual arts," Kramer said. "I think it ought include both performing and visual arts."
After the verbiage of the proposed bylaws was discussed, the group began to address the main hurdles an art council might face.

About Dr. Michael E. DeBakey (1908-2008)
Dr. Michael DeBakey's name is inextricably linked to the history of cardiology. In a surgical career that lasted more than seven decades, he played a key role in inventing and perfecting many procedures that are now considered standard surgical therapies for cardiac and vascular disease.
Early Years
Dr. DeBakey was born in Lake Charles, Louisiana, in 1908. His childhood was shaped by his voracious curiosity, and he decided at an early age to devote himself to medicine. He attended Tulane University as an undergraduate; by special permission, he was allowed to attend medical school while he completed the last two years of his undergraduate studies.
Even as a medical student, Dr. DeBakey began to develop a reputation for surgical skill and willingness to create new solutions to surgical challenges. Dr. DeBakey also invented the roller pump during his student years. This device, which rhythmically propels fluid through a flexible tube, would later become a crucial part of the heart-lung machine used during open heart surgery. Its ability to replicate the rhythmic pulsing of the human heart earned it the name "peristaltic pump."
Wartime Service
During World War II, Dr. DeBakey volunteered for military service and was assigned to the Surgical Consultant's Division of the U.S. Surgeon General's office. His work there led to the development of mobile army surgical hospital (MASH) units. These centralized surgical hospitals used airplanes and helicopters to bring wounded soldiers from front-line care centers to surgical hospitals as quickly as possible. First deployed during the Korean War, MASH units were highly successful; a soldier who made it to a MASH unit alive had a 97% chance of survival.
In recognition of this innovation, Dr. DeBakey was awarded the Legion of Merit. He would later play a continuing role in the treatment of military personnel returning from war through his contribution to the creation of the Veteran's Administration Medical Center System.
Westward Bound
Dr. DeBakey came to Houston after the war, joining the staff of Houston Methodist Hospital and the faculty of the Baylor College of Medicine. Over the course of his long career in the Texas Medical Center, Dr. DeBakey developed numerous pioneering treatments, including the development of the first artificial grafts for cardiac bypass surgery, the first removal of a blockage of the carotid artery, the first patch-graft angioplasty, the first aorto-coronary artery bypass, and the first successful use of an artificial heart. Together, these innovations have helped to make conditions treatable that were once terminal. And they have helped to save millions of lives worldwide.
Building a Legacy
In addition to his devoted work as a surgeon—work that would eventually include surgery on some 60,000 patients from around the world—Dr. DeBakey's institutional leadership was essential to the development and growth of Houston Methodist Hospital.
Dr. DeBakey was a senior attending physician at Houston Methodist Hospital and the Houston Methodist DeBakey Heart & Vascular Center, and served as Chancellor Emeritus of Baylor College of Medicine. He received the Congressional Gold Medal—the highest civilian award that may be bestowed by the United States Congress—in 2008.
Dr. Michael DeBakey died of natural causes at Houston Methodist Hospital in July 2008. In a career spanning more than 70 years, he had performed more than 60,000 heart surgeries. Other surgeons have used his innovations in cardiovascular surgery worldwide to save the lives of countless millions.

Olympic shooting preview
Story Highlights
China has topped medal table at last 3 Olympics and could do so again in London
U.S. is most decorated nation in shooting and will be led by veteran Kim Rhode
Shooting could give us rare gold-medal showdown at Games between U.S., U.K.
Greatest U.S. moments in the Summer Olympics
Athletes and celebs with the Olympic torch
Summer Olympians before they were stars
How Olympic fashion has changed over the years
U.S. athletes to watch in the London Games
Summer Olympians who are set to become stars
Shooting usually receives its biggest buzz on the first full day of the Olympics, when it awards the first medal of the Games in the women's 10-meter air rifle, one of 15 events over three disciplines -- pistol, rifle and shotgun. The women's air rifle final leads off again this year, beginning at 11 a.m. local time (6 a.m. Eastern Time) the day after the opening ceremony. Shooting could be considered a case study in recent Olympic medal trends. The U.S. has always fared well, but the Soviet Union and later Russia led the medal table in 1988, 1992 and 1996 before ceding to China, the most medaled nation over the last three Olympics.
It could be more of the same in London given China topped the medal table at the most recent world championships in 2010.
Kim Rhode, United States: The world No. 1 skeet shooter aims to become the first American to medal in five straight Olympics in an individual sport. And this may not even be her final Games. Rhode, the 2010 world champion, will be 33 come London in a sport where medalists range into their 40s.
Niccolo Campriani, Italy: Campriani, who hails from Florence but trains in Morgantown, W.Va., is the only man ranked in the top three in the world in two events, and he just so happens to be at the top in both -- 10-meter air rifle and 50-meter rifle 3 positions. Campriani also holds the distinction of being the first athlete to qualify for the London Olympics via winning the 10-meter rifle world title on July 31, 2010. Nobody has won multiple shooting golds at one Olympics since 1992.
The U.S. is the most decorated nation in Olympic shooting history with 103 medals, 50 gold. It won two gold, two silver and two bronze medals in 2008. All six medalists are back on the team this year. New names have also emerged as medal threats. First-time Olympian Joshua Richmond is the world champion in double trap. Jason Parker, 22nd and 23rd in two Beijing events, is ranked No. 3 in 50-meter rifle 3 positions. Then there's Matthew Emmons, who owns an Olympic gold and silver but could have won even more if he didn't fire at the wrong target in 2004 or if his rifle didn't accidentally go off in 2008. Emmons was diagnosed with thyroid cancer in 2010.
Joshua Richmond (USA) vs. Peter Wilson (GBR)
The host nation's best hope for a medal comes in the double trap in, potentially, one of the rare showdowns across all sports between the U.S. and Great Britain for gold. The British have won just two shooting medals in the last 20 years, but Wilson is ranked second behind Richmond and broke a world record by hitting 198 of 200 targets at a competition in March.
Sonja Pfeilschifter (GER) vs. Barbara Engleder (GER)
Something's gotta give in the women's 50-meter rifle 3 positions. Pfeilschifter is one of the most decorated shooters of all time not to win an Olympic medal. She won a junior world title in 1991 and followed up with three senior world titles, six World Cup final golds and a slew of world records. Pfeilschifter is ranked second in the world in both the 10-meter air rifle and 50-meter rifle 3 positions, but expressed doubt that Germany would enter her in both competitions at the Olympics. "They think I will do better competing only in the 50-meter rifle 3-position event," the 41-year-old told The Associated Press after winning the 10-meter Olympic test event in April. "But I hope that they will change their mind." Pfeilschifter's best finishes over four Olympics were a fourth, a fifth and two sixths. If she only competes in the 50-meter, her biggest competition will be countrywoman Engleder, who has also failed to medal in two previous Olympics. Engleder edged Pfeilschifter for gold at the 2010 world championships.
Georgios Achilleos and Alessandra Perilli carry the respective hopes of Cyrpus and San Marino, two nations with zero Olympic medals. Achilleos, ranked third in men's skeet, won the 2007 world title and placed fifth in Beijing, his best finish in three Olympics. Perilli, ranked seventh in women's trap, was fourth at the 2009 world championships and won two World Cups in 2011.
Live pigeons were once the targets in Olympic shooting, but that practice was put to bed after the 1900 Paris Games. ... Australian double trap shooter Russell Mark made headlines in May by losing a bet and apparently agreeing to wear a mankini (made famous by Borat) at the opening ceremony. "Oh, I must've been intoxicated," said Mark, 48, to <i>The Telegraph. "Anyway, a lot of people would think a mankini might look better than the uniform they've nominated for us, so I don't know if it's such a bad thing." It was later decided instead that Mark's wife, also an Olympic shooter, would appear in a men's magazine.

Make every click count in Search Engine Marketing (SEM) management with these hotel Pay-Per-Click advertising tips. Your initial goal is to drive traffic to your website but your end goal is to convert these visitors into tangible sales. You can do this by choosing the right keywords and creating specific landing pages that have a clear to call to action. Sound easy? Here are five Pay-Per-Click tips to make every SEM dollar count.
Realistically a small bed and breakfast located in the Napa Valley will have to spend a lot of money bidding on generic keywords such as 'bed and breakfast' which may not result in high conversion rates. Look for a better return on investment (ROI) by targeting lower volume keywords such as 'bed and breakfast Napa Valley' that more of your target market may be using – this may yield better results and will cost much less per click.
Make sure your landing pages (the pages that your ads link to) feature the same keywords you bid on in order to reinforce relevance. People who have clicked on the link have to come to your website because they have a problem that needs solving and your landing page needs to provide that solution. Your page should be solely dedicated to a single purpose with a strong call to action that is specific for each PPC advertising promotion. This strategy will also improve your "quality score" which in turn will reduce your cost per click.
If you have a limited marketing budget and you are ranking steadily on Page 1 of the Search Engines for a specific keyword, you are better off to concentrate on keywords that are not doing as well on the SERPS*. Some companies choose to run PPC campaigns for search terms such as their business name but there is little point in people clicking on your PPC advertisement when they can click on your organic listing at no cost to you.
You can calculate your PPC ROI by knowing what percent of your website visitors turn into clients. You will also need to know what the value of each one of your clients is. Using the Pay-Per-Click ROI calculator we have created, you can choose what level of investment per click will give you a reasonable ROI and use your online marketing budget more effectively.
Ideally a hotel marketing team should use PPC in conjunction with SEO (Search Engine Optimisation) to enhance their presence on Search Engines. PPC is seen as a short-term strategy to give your website instant visibility albeit at a cost when someone clicks on your advertisement. With SEO, your website may not rank straight away but once it does rank well organically, there is no direct cost per visit – and 75%+ of all searchers click on the organic results.
The hotel industry is a very competitive market and running PPC and SEO campaigns can often be a daunting task for a hotelier new to the space. Hotel Website Designers have proven experience in creating PPC and SEO campaigns for high-profile hotel websites located around the world.

TUCSON, Ariz. — Marqise Lee dropped to the desert floor as if deliriously parched, covering his head with his hands and kicking his legs.
He eventually stood up and walked slowly across the Arizona Stadium field with tears steaming down his cheeks. A USC flunky clumsily shoved a baseball cap in front of Lee's face in an attempt to shield his pain, but nothing could mask the truth about this brilliant receiver and his troubled program.
Their talent is unlimited, but their season has been a waste. Their potential is arguably the best in the country, yet their results have been indisputably the most disappointing in recent memory.
This Trojans are great players, yet the Trojans are one messy team, witness Saturday's 39-36 defeat to Arizona that erased them from the national championship picture while stripping them of all benefit of the doubt.
This isn't working. The NFL offense isn't working. The wise old coordinator's defense isn't working.
More than anything, Lane Kiffin isn't working. At some point, the learning curve for the young coach has to start consistently trending upward. In this most important of his three seasons here, it has flatlined.
Are we sure he didn't out-think himself Saturday by ordering his players to trade jersey numbers with, I don't know, Colorado?
In the eighth game of an autumn still in search of a defining moment, Kiffin's Trojans were once again defined only by disorganization, a lack of discipline, and decisions that could just be called dumb.
In being outscored 26-0 in the middle of a game against a rebuilding program just trying to stay close, USC again showed that nobody beats these Trojans like themselves.
"We didn't win, and that's why I was upset," said Lee.
On a day that should have been a celebration of a kid who might be the best college football player in the country, Lee caught a conference-record 345 yards worth of passes while watching the Trojans drop everything else.
They dropped the football with three lost fumbles, they dropped any sense of focus with 117 yards worth of penalties, and Matt Barkley dropped his precision with two passes for interceptions.
"I was surprised when we kept screwing up," said Kiffin, who might have been the only one. "I'm open to all suggestions, I've tried it all."
The biggest drop of all occurred shortly after Lee streaked across the field on a 44-yard touchdown pass to give the Trojans a 28-13 lead early in the third quarter, when Kiffin inexplicably dropped his visor-covered head into a misguided play card.
In their next three possessions, the Trojans didn't throw to Lee once. Not once. During that time, they gained 29 total yards with drives ending in two punts and fumble. Also during that time, not coincidentally, the re-energized Wildcats scored twice to close the gap to two points.
When Lee finally touched the ball again at the start of the fourth quarter, it was on a completely silly fourth-down reverse that gained one yard when two yards were needed. Yes, of course, Arizona took the lead on the next possession.
Lee had missed the start of the second half because he was in the locker room receiving intravenous fluids for exhaustion, but he was well enough for that third-quarter score, and he said he felt fine. As in the recent win in Washington, the only person who could stop this kid who eventually gained 469 total yards was his coach.
Said Kiffin: "They changed a little bit in the third quarter, [Lee] probably set a first-half world record, so they're going to do something."
Said Lee: "They changed their defense, but knowing what kind of coaches we have, I knew eventually they will open up and change our plays too."
Eventually? Trojan fans were waiting. And waiting. And waiting.

The site is a project of the Civilian Marksmanship Program, a national nonprofit organization that promotes shooting skills among civilians.
The program last week began inviting contractors to inquire about earth-moving work at the site, according to the CMP's deputy chief operating officer, Mark Johnson.
The program has one of its two offices in Anniston, as well as a store that sells surplus rifles such as the M1 Garand. Those sales fund the CMP and its training projects. The group receives no funding from the federal government.
The CMP also has an indoor air-rifle range in the Golden Springs area. The Talladega County site, however, will offer a 600-yard rifle range, another 100-yard firing range, a 50-yard pistol range and several shotgun stations, in which shooters will fire at clay pigeons. According to Johnson, CMP officials also plan a clubhouse and pro shop.
Johnson said the range will host national competitions as well as quarterly, monthly and weekly matches. But he stressed that the range will still serve as a place for residents to learn and practice marksmanship skills.
Johnson said CMP officials plan to establish a club for the range, but residents can use the site on a daily basis, too.
He said he did not yet know what the rates the CMP will charge, saying the program must strike a balance between accessibility to the public and maintaining its standards for gun safety.
"It's a careful mix we're working on," he said.
Johnson said each of the ranges will be staffed with safety personnel who will require participants to complete a training course for each of the different types of firearms used on the ranges.
"Nobody on our property will be turned loose to shoot as they like," he said.
People like Dennis DeMille believe the shooters coming to the new range from all around the globe will provide a boost to the area economy.
"It is gonna be one of the most state-of-the-art ranges in the country, if not the world," he said.
DeMille, the general manager of Creedmoor Sports, a company that manufactures competitive shooting gear, said the new range is the primary reason his company moved to Anniston from Oceanside, Calif.
Johnson said CMP officials chose the site for the new range, on Turner's Mill Road about 2 miles from the Talladega Superspeedway, because it was secluded enough for their purposes, but close to Interstate 20.
Johnson said CMP officials considered land at McClellan for the range. However, all of the property suitable for the project needed to be cleared of possible contaminants or unexploded ordnance.
Robin Scott, executive director of the McClellan Development Authority, said the missed opportunity was not a funding issue. The MDA received $19 million in federal cleanup funds this year, he said.
The problem was time. According to Scott, MDA officials have focused cleanup efforts to the south near Iron Mountain Road, while the properties suitable for the CMP's range had not yet been investigated to identify possible contaminants or unexploded ordnance.
Scott said the process of clearing land at McClellan can often take more than a year, too long for CMP decision makers.

One of the first things I noticed about Porto was the collection of eye-catching bridges spanning the Douro River which flows through the city. This Portuguese city is well worth a visit and while you're there, you'll definitely find yourself strolling along Avenida dos Aliados at some point.
If you are thinking of spending some time in Porto, don't forget we've got a great selection of hostels in Porto for you to check out. It won't be hard to find things to do while you're there. My suggestion? Make sure you take one of the river boat tours along the Douro. It's a great way to get a better look at the bridges I mentioned earlier, while learning some more about the city.
Another cool thing to do is sampling local cuisine like the ever-present 'francesinha'. I have to admit that I had more than one of these filling sandwiches during my stay in Porto. You'll find out more about other cool places to eat, along with some of my favourite bars in Porto plus lots more, in our free Porto pocket guide.
In our hostelworld.com travel blog we bring you all the latest company news and information on new additions to the site including podcasts, videos and more. You'll also get inside information on a variety of destinations across the globe as they're visited by our travel editor and writers.

weezer covering "Paranoid Android" by Radiohead in the studio, 3 days ago.
with the B.O.M.B.fest gong tent still ringing in our ears, we packed up in Hartford and made tracks across the long state of Pennsylvania overnight, to make it to Pittsburgh in time to set up and play at Stage AE tonight.
Now the kids are coming in to the Stage AE, which as we've learned is a really neat mini outdoor ampitheater in the heart of the city, across the street from a classy sportsbar, with an ice cream truck circling the block incessantly. Its time for rock...
More later - are you going? Did you go? Comment here and/or in our message boards, tell your tale! Post your show pix on our photo page!

Thanks for the awesome show last Sunday and for having the meet and greet! It was awesome to get to meet you guys, true musical genius! Come back to Pittsburgh soon!

High-tech speaker and writer Doug Fox says face-to-face meetings will still be a very powerful medium for conferencing in the 21st century.
It's important to point out that most of today's Web-based training programs are not very exciting.
Meetings are still the ultimate chat room. Meetings are not yet under complete attack from the Internet or any other technology. Yes, there are countless ways that people can bypass face-to-face meetings. We are all familiar with them: Web-based meetings, instant messaging, chat rooms, videoconferencing, and other related tools continue to grow in popularity. But no technology can serve as a complete substitute for the networking, camaraderie, and interaction that take place at group gatherings.
The important question to consider is not whether people will participate in meetings, but what changes will take place in how participants evaluate the types of meetings they do attend:
Since Internet users have quick and ready access to information and contacts, there will be a tendency to attend more local and regional meetings and fewer national and international meetings. Why travel long distances when you are a mouse click away from many of the resources that you need?
Many companies will continue to constrain the growth in their travel budgets, both to reduce expenditures and in reaction to their belief that many forms of communication can successfully take place online. For example, some companies are eliminating product road shows and opting for Web-based sales seminars instead.
Web-based training programs will improve in quality this year, which will motivate many companies to have their employees take introductory courses online and more advanced classes in a face-to-face setting.
The hallmarks of meetings in the Internet age are collaboration, interaction, and participation. It simply will become very difficult to create meetings of any type that do not completely engage participants in the proceedings.
Just consider how the Internet is used today. E-mail is the most popular application, and there is a range of community tools, including product review sites, opinion surveys, and discussion lists, that allow all users to share their thoughts and reactions. Even more important, consider online presentation tools. With just about any of these slide show applications, any meeting participant can take over the slide controls at any time and lead the meeting. It is difficult for people to have incredible freedom online and then enter a meeting room and become passive robots shackled to a chair.
To respond to this changing mind-set, meetings will be designed in a looser, less structured manner so that participants can play a greater role in determining the design, structure, and focus of each gathering.
On the budget side, the cost of renting computers and establishing high-speed Internet connections on-site will go down. Renting lots of computers, loading them up with software, and ordering T1 or faster connections can be an expensive proposition. Plus, there are some glaring incongruities today. You can get T1 access in a hotel guest room for $10 a day, and then pay $500 for the same Internet access in a meeting room.
The good news is that, starting next year, a number of helpful developments will take place. First, dedicated Internet appliances will make it a snap to either purchase inexpensive, stripped-down computers for the purpose of delivering on-site Internet access, or these same machines will be available to rent at a very low cost. In addition, more attendees then ever will be porting super-lightweight notebooks, so you won't even have to provide any type of computer equipment for them. And as many users start taking advantage of faster wireless Internet access, you won't even have to provide as many network connections to the Web.
Next, the growth in broadband wireless Internet connectivity options will lead hotels to charge less for their high-speed Internet access. Venues will simply face more competition.
Bluetooth is an emerging standard for the wireless exchange of data among different types of devices that are within close proximity. By many estimates, Bluetooth-enabled gadgets will become popular next year. For example, you will be able to print a document stored in your Palm hand-held computer on a nearby printer without having to use any cables.
The broad acceptance of Bluetooth is important to the meeting industry. Participants at events are very mobile and interact with a range of people during educational programs, networking sessions, and on the trade show floor. In other words, attendees have an extensive need to share information with others via range of devices such as cellphones, PDAs (personal digital assistant), computers, projectors, printers, lead-retrieval systems, and other tools.
As more vendors add Bluetooth connectivity options to different types of devices, it will become significantly easier for all attendees to more easily share information. Here is an example: You are sitting in a seminar. You have a PowerPoint presentation stored on your PDA. With the proper Bluetooth-enabled devices, you will be able to transmit each slide via a wireless connection to the data projector and instantly display the images for all to see.
In 2001, meetings will continue the transformation from discrete, isolated events into communication platforms and hubs that reach out to a larger, global audience.
For instance, an increasing number of meetings today connect an on-site network with a corporate network. Videoconferencing is a popular tool for linking two or more locations. And remote participants in educational programs can now have access to and can control slide presentations, charts, and other data.
The advent of high-speed Internet access coupled with viable immersive (3D) technologies will accelerate these trends. Once it is possible for more people to experience 3D worlds and highly realistic renderings in cyberspace, a greater effort will be made to involve remote participants in different types of meetings.
For example, imagine a press conference where an auto manufacturer launches a new car. Remote journalists will be able to enter an immersive environment and take the car for a test drive without leaving their desks.
On another front, exhibitors participating in trade shows will expand their focus from marketing only to an on-site crowd to also directing their time and energy to a remote audience. By using webcasting and high-quality collaboration offerings, vendors will interact in real time with remote customers from their on-site booths and offices.
One result of the bust in some Internet stocks is that we will see a decline in the number of Internet-only events.
Over the last two years, there have been so many new Internet-focused educational programs, conferences, and shows that there sooner or later had to be a shake-up.
This shake-up will benefit established producers of events in both the for-profit and nonprofit worlds. Increasingly, events in all industries will continue the process of incorporating Internet training and offerings within their own programs. This makes sense, because the Internet is a tool that helps people work more effectively in different jobs and different industries. And as the newness of the Internet wears off, businesspeople will be much more focused on solutions than the excitement of new technology introductions.
Your options for selecting venues for upcoming meetings is about to become more diversified.
As a rule, today you have to stick with modern hotels that have the infrastructure in place for supporting your meeting requirements. Among your critical needs are bound to be voice and data networks that are required to host a meeting.
But with the introduction of broadband wireless connectivity options, everything is about to change. Consider how your choices expand if everybody attending your meeting has a lightweight notebook computer with a reliable, wireless high-speed Internet connection.
All of a sudden, you don't need the communications infrastructure offered by most hotels. You can now host your meeting in an ancient castle, an historic home, a cruise ship, or anywhere else that you feel like meeting.
In my wavering prediction in the introduction to this article, I said that many companies would encourage employees to take introductory education courses online. This trend will accelerate.
It's important to bear in mind that most of today's Web-based training programs are not very exciting. Actually, they are boring. So it does not help to compare today's sub-par programs to on-site educational programs. It is better to assume that online training programs will improve dramatically in quality, sophistication, and scope in the years to come.
Then, considering these improvements, you have to figure out what impact these courses will have on your face-to-face gatherings.
For starters, Internet-based programs will increasingly lead people to take programs online instead of in person.
In addition, the wide availability of online courses will change the expectations of attendees when they participate in your face-to-face programs. Most importantly, attendees who participate in your on-site programs will want more control over the learning process, they will want more case studies and simulations, and they will want extensive time to interact with others.
If you add up these predictions and trends, you will probably reach the conclusion that if you are in the business of marketing, planning, and producing group events, you will want to expand the definition of what you do for a living.
In many cases, it is simply too confining to limit yourself to being in the business of facilitating face-to-face meetings. The real opportunity is to be in the business of selecting the right communications medium or combination of mediums that best helps your colleagues and customers achieve their objectives.
For example, you may help your company launch a new software program by designing a series of monthly Web-based seminar programs that are promoted around an annual customer conference.
Or you may design an integrated educational offering that incorporates in-person programs, self-paced educational courses, as well as audiotapes and videotapes.
Meetings are not going away, but there are many avenues that people can pursue to seek education, business leads and networking opportunities. So your best approach is to position yourself as an expert in the optimal selection of delivery mediums for each of your customers.

Homeopath: from the U.S.A.
16-year- old girl: Patient is beautiful in the conventional sense – could easily be a model. She is very thin, petite, with black and red hair. She wears a black, mini skirt with fishnet stockings. She was referred by a female colleague, partly because she was not helped adequately, but also because the patient had been asking to see a male homeopath instead. She is seeking help for depression, anxiety, moods swings, and self harm.

Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome
Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome (PFPS) also known as runners knee is a generic term used to describe pain at the front of the knee which comes on gradually with symptoms increasing over a period of time.
Patellofemoral pain syndrome symptoms
Symptoms of patellofemoral pain syndrome include an aching pain in the knee joint, particularly at the front of the knee around and under the patella. There is often tenderness along the inside border of the kneecap and swelling will sometimes occur after exercise. Patellofemoral pain is often worse when walking up and down hills or sitting for long periods of time. Pain under the kneecap when sitting still for a while is known as the theatre sign or movie-goers knee.
Patellofemoral pain syndrome explained
Patellofemoral pain syndrome is sometimes also called anterior knee pain or runners knee and occurs when the patella does not move or track correctly as the knee is being bent and straightened. This can lead to damage to the cartilage on the underside of the patella itself resulting in pain and inflammation. Patellofemoral pain is common in people who do a lot of sport, in particular adolescent girls.
Other signs a sports medical practitioner may pick up include a click or cracking sound when bending the knee, wasting of the quadriceps muscles if the injury is an old one and tight muscles around the knee joint.
When bending and straightening the knee, several muscles surrounding the joint act together to cause the patella to run in a straight line within a groove formed by the femur and tibia bones called the intercondylar groove. If any of the structures are particularly tight or weak, this causes an imbalance which can result in the patella being pulled out of line, usually towards the outside of the knee.
The most common example of this is when the lateral structures of the knee including the vastus lateralis, iliotibial band and lateral retinaculum are tight and the vastus medialis oblique muscle on the inside of the knee is weak. The Q angle is the ankle between the quadriceps and the patella tendon and a Q-angle greater than 18 to 20 degrees could indicate patella tracking problems. A larger Q angle is common in women due to their wider pelvis.
Patellofemoral pain syndrome can also occur following a knee injury if the muscles of the quadriceps, especially the vastus medialis on the inside become inhibited or considerably weakened. Other factors which can cause patellofemoral pain include overloading such as running with weight and over pronation feet which cause the knee to rotate inwards.
PFPS is often confused with another condition known as chondromalacia patellae or CMP for short. This is damage to the cartilage which lines the underside of the knee cap and can result from patellofemoral pain, although it can also occur independently, usually due to damage from an impact. You are more prone to this if you have a small kneecap or one that sticks out, if your feet roll in or pronate, you have tight muscles, do a lot of long distance running or have had a previous knee dislocation.
Runners knee treatment
Apply RICE (Rest, ice compression and elevation) after activity. This will help reduce pain and swelling. Rest until there is no pain. Wear a runners knee brace or support which will help control patella tracking. These will usually have a hole in the middle for the kneecap and often straps which are pulled across the knee applying support to the patella. See a sports injury professional who can advise on treatment and patellofemoral pain syndrome rehabilitation.
A professional practitioner can confirm the diagnosis and rule out other conditions which may have similar symptoms such as a synovial plica. A doctor may prescribe anti-inflammatory medication e.g. ibuprofen. Ibuprofen should not be taken if you have asthma.
A comprehensive rehabilitation program for patellofemoral pain syndrome consisting of stretching and strengthening exercises should be done, often in conjunction with patellofemoral taping techniques. Sports massage can help loosen tight structures and muscles which may be causing the patella tracking problems. Gait analysis can be done to determine if the athlete overpronates and orthotic inserts can correct poor foot biomechanics. In chronic cases a surgeon may operate to release the tight lateral structures of the knee.

West Virginia University participates in the OCLC Reciprocal Faculty Borrowing Program which allows faculty members of participating institutions to have library borrowing privileges and on-site access to the collections of some of the most important research libraries in North America. This program was developed under the aegis of the Research Libraries Advisory Committee to OCLC and is designed to extend library privileges to faculty members at other research universities.
Full and Part-time Faculty in good standing with the WVU Libraries with picture I.D. and a library card are eligible to apply for a RFBP card. This card will be valid for one year from date of issue and is renewable.
Faculty members may request a RFBP card at the Circulation Desks of the Evansdale, Health Sciences, Law or Wise Libraries. The faculty members will be given two forms to sign that explain their responsibilities and acknowledge that they (and not WVU) are responsible for materials borrowed, fines, etc. One copy will be kept on file at the respective Circulation desk and the other copy given to the faculty member. A card will be issued along with a brochure of participating institutions.
Present identification when requesting a Reciprocal Faculty Borrowing Program card from WVU libraries and show that card, along with other required identification, when borrowing materials from another library. Observe the regulations of the lending library. Return materials, in person or by mail, within the loan period prescribed by the lending library. Return materials immediately, in person or by express mail, if recalled by the lending library. The Faculty Borrower, and not WVU, is responsible for any and all fines and other charges incurred. Please note that this is a program of privileges. At its discretion, an institution may suspend the privileges of its own faculty members or the faculty members of a participating institution.
